aight, this is what i got:

52 fender telecaster reissue (from 2000ish)
peavey classic 50/212 (from 2001ish)
sovtek big muff pi (black one)
dunlop crybaby wah that i never use

i've got some money burning a hole in my pocket. the more fuzz the better. go!

You should get a battery and start using your Crybaby wah-wah more that would be rad.



Hmmm, I would also get a delay pedal,preferably analog,but maybe the boys in here would know alot better about that.

i ain't buyin' shit for you. but i'll buy it for me and then send you pictures of it to taunt you.

What kind of sounds are you interested in, it's like you're asking for recommendations for good beer. Too many to name.

I like Bells Oberon though ;)

I'm not a fan of Big Muffs. What about a superfuzz clone (type of fuzz). Those are pretty rad. Or buy that Meathead that's listed here, that will melt people's faces off, paired up with your Tele. Very vicious sounding fuzz.

I'd try out some kind of Fuzz Face variant. Which one depends on how much you want to spend, there's a lot of cool stuff that takes off from that design. My favorite fuzz pedal I own or have owned (among a bunch of boutique stuff) is a vintage FF clone my friend made for me with NOS parts.

I'd recommend a RAT with the LM308 chip
an EHX Q-Tron
I have more fun with these two pedals alone than anything else I have

The RAT can almost get into fuzz territory, I got rid of my muffs a long time ago b/c of mine. As a matter of fact my RAT has knocked "better" boutique dirt pedals off my board.

An Octave pedal can get you a pretty cool synthy sound if you're into that. I use the discontinued and analog Boss OC-2, you can swipe them for $50 all day.

I'd also check into the Tech 21 Character Series if your into amp modeling

Each one is supposed to sound like a particular brand amp, I have the VT Bass and it cops an Ampeg tone pretty convincingly IMHO.

A chorus can always be cool and I love the way delay sounds on guitar, the MXR Carbon Copy seems like a legit analog one that is still in production.

Haha, I basically just posted the meat and potatoes of my whole pedalboard except I don't have a delay.

Go shopping. Go to the local guitar stores, and try a bunch of stuff. The Behringer advice was good-  you could buy one of everything, figure out what you like, and then buy a sturdy version.

my intention is to try all this stuff out first, i just want some advice on where to start. asking for help in guitar shops when you have a vagina can suck sometimes. either they ignore me because they figure i'm not going to buy anything, or they tell me to get the danelectro stuff because it comes in all these great colours!!

thanks, people. i'm makin a list.

Forgot to mention that, my EQ pedal is the secret to using a RAT for me as well.

And remember, the ones that are currently in production are garbage. Cannot say LM308 chip enough.

you know what's weird? i have an early 90s lm308 rat and an early 2000s non 308 and i like them both for different things. the 308 sounds more squishy, whereas the non 308 sounds more hard and fizzy.

BH Photo has almost every Behringer pedal for $23.99 most with free shipping. I've gotten toys from them before. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ns=p_PRICE_2%7C0&ci=14731&N=4225641373&srtclk=sort

Well then my friend, you need a WIIO.

It's definitely at the top of my list right now.
By my side I keep my things that I ne-uh-ed! Rest in peace is gonna set me free!

for guitar I'm sure they can cut it but I use my early 90's one for bass so I'm against the newer ones.

the WIIO made me mess my pants.

grimniggzy

yeah, those are definitely awesome

mawso

I just got a Behringer VD400 - just for shits and giggles

it's a lot of fun, completely unversatile, self-oscillates like a bitch which of course is a good thing imo

will probably record something with it soon

Devi Ever like 30 different fuzzes.  A lot of 'em are $99.00 and you can order direct.
Ronsound-Ron Neeley the affordable Skreddy Muff killers.
Dentone - BC 108 Fuzz Face kits, I have his MK II/Marshall Supafuzz clone w/ AC128's in it(Can be found on eBay).  His MK II is only $149.00 US, don't pay $200 for a MKII
Mod yer Crybaby with a Whipple Inductor (again Ebay)

Can't really go wrong with Electro-Harmonix either.  There's just so many.

I just picked up a hudson electronics "stroll on" fuzz. It's a tonbender mk2 clone. fuckin awesome vintage sounding pedal here. I was in vegas yesterday and had to check out cow town guitars. cool little shop and they had plenty of cool fuzzes to try. 200 out the door. highly recommended to anyone looking for thick vintage 70's fuzz tones and killer sustain.
